Why We Give


Thanks for helping my mom to be able to receive her chemo treatments that prolonged her life. Hope this small donation will help someone else. -Laurel

I do thank the HealthWell Foundation for helping me with my medications; I know I could not afford the medication on my own. Since you are so good to me I will try to help you with small donations. I do appreciate your help. Bless the HealthWell foundation and all the wonderful people who help so many of us out. -Jeannie

HealthWell paid for my co-pays on my medication for quite awhile. I really appreciate all you did for me. I'm sending this to help someone else. I no longer have any insurance myself; I've had to go on disability. Thank you for all that you have done for me. -Lillian

If not for HealthWell, as a Rheumatoid Arthritic patient, I would not be able to receive treatment. My medication runs around $14,000 to $20,000. Living on social security disability I could not afford this without the gracious help of HealthWell. I only wish I could do more. -Gary

Testimonial

Your organization is awesome! I received a heart transplant in 2001. Through 2008, my job provided affordable insurance. That changed in 2009 - the new plan had a HUGE deductible. I was at a loss as to how I was going to be able to pay for my meds and keep a roof over my head and food on the table for my daughter and me. I tried to get assistance from a few places to no avail, and then was referred to HealthWell by my doctor. The application process was simple and the response was quick. I was approved for the help I so desperately needed. A mountain of stress was lifted from my shoulders when I received the news HealthWell was going to help me.
